TEXT
Many digital terrestrial television channels not only broadcast pictures and sound for programmes but
also pages of information on the programmes, the weather, news and many other topics. This digital
teletext can be displayed by the receiver.Some channels are entirely given over to digital teletext and
carry no normal TV programme at all.
These dedicated digital teletext channels will not give a quarter-screen image in the EPG or the
Channel List screen. When such a channel is selected, after a brief pause, they will usually display
the opening page of information automatically. Other channels have digital teletext pages broadcast
alongside the television programme and often include a reduced-size broadcast picture within digital
teletext pages.
These usually require the TEXT button to be pressed to activate the digital teletext pages.In both
cases, moving through the different pages of information is accomplished in a variety of ways,
dependent on the individual broadcasters, but including use of the "5/6/3/4" and [OK] keys to
select items from on-screen menus, and the coloured keys to jump directly to particular pages.
You can exit teletext mode by pressing the TEXT button on the remote or by changing channel. Also if
you call for the INFO bar or bring up a menu you will temporarily enter TV mode returning to TEXT
mode when you cancel the menu or INFO bar.
You can exit any digital teletext channel by changing channel in any of the normal ways. You can
leave the digital teletext function of a combined digital teletext/programme channel, to return to
normal television viewing of that channel, by pressing the TEXT key.Calling for the information banner
or any menu on-screen stops the receiver from displaying the digital teletext pages and they are
temporarily replaced by a blank picture while the banner or menu is displayed.Digital teletext cannot
be accessed when the Subtitles are enabled.
WIDE
TV sets are available with screens of the standard (4:3) format and widescreen (16:9) format. When
you first installed your receiver you specified the format of the connected TV (this can now be altered if
necessary; see Configuration)Digital terrestrial television broadcasts are also made in both standard
and widescreen formats. In particular, films and dramas tend to be broadcast in widescreen format to
closer emulate the cinema experience, but some programmes such as news bulletins are 4:3. To help
get the most from both TV set and programme when a widescreen film is watched on a standard TV,
or a standard broadcast is viewed on a widescreen set, the receiver includes the WIDE key.So long as
the receiver has been correctly set up for the TV set connected, a widescreen programme will always
be displayed correctly on a widescreen set, and a standard format programme will correctly fill the
screen of a standard format TV.
With a widescreen TV set displaying a standard format programme the WIDE key switches between
displaying the picture with black bars down the sides, and enlarging the picture so that it fills the whole
width of the screen but the top and bottom are cropped off.With a standard format TV displaying a
widescreen programme, the WIDE key switches between displaying the picture with black bars at the
top and bottom of the screen, and filling the whole height of the screen but cropping the sides off
according to instructions broadcast with the programme (called 'pan and scan').The effect of the WIDE
key on the picture display is cancelled by pressing WIDE again.
NOTE:
Sometimes the TV will automatically try and compensate for an incorrect screen format, in this
instance set the tv to the correct format whilst viewing the programme.
